We just had a wood firing in Oct, but made more pots and had one more firing for Celebration of Seagrove Potters this Fall. Also I made some experimental pots with new claybodies. It's good to try new materials for firing, always.

Welcome to Studio Touya

Takuro and Hitomi Shibata's pottery studio in Seagrove, NC. We are Japanese potters from Shigaraki that is one of the oldest and biggest pottery village in Western Japan, and had chance to come to Seagrove that is also one of the biggest pottery community in USA. We make handmade functional pottery and do wood firing by our large wood kiln.
